Mr. CROKER replied, he knew of none, either to Marlborough or Mar shal Turenne; and, indeed, recollected no equestrian statue to a subject at all, except to the Duke of Cumberland, in one of our squares, and he was of the blood royal. Sir F. TRIZNCII said, that this very circumstance wou'd be, In his mi• d, the greatest recommendation to the plan proposed ; because it would put this statue, and the glorious achievements it was intended to commemorate, in a position giving to them new and peculiar addi. tional honour. Ile recollected in a communication which he had with his late Majesty, with regard to another equestrian statue proposed in the city, to commemorate to Duke of Wellington's - services with re spect to London-bridge and its approaches, it became his duty to inquire o hethcr his Majesty had any objection to the erecting an equestrian statue in honour of one of his subjects. His Majesty replied to him, that he was not aware of the existence of any etiquette to prevent the erection, but if it had existed it would have given him the greater pleasure, because it would have afforded him an opportunity of waving such etiquette in favour of the Duke of Wellington.— (Hear.) The third resolutioia was then put, and carried unanimously. Sir G. COCKBURN then proposed the fourth resolution:_" That his Grace the Duke of Rutland, as Chairman of this Committee, be re quested to take such measures as he may deem most respectful and ad. viseable for his humbly soliciting her Majesty's most gracious permission for the erection of the statue on the triumphal arch," adding, that it wss quite unnecessary for him to say more than that the Committee, lie was sure, would join with him in the hope that their Noble Chairman would do so, and thus confer an additional favour on them.

Edward Moxon, Dover-street. The following is a report of the proceedings of the Welling ton Memorial Committee, held at the house of the Secretary, Mr. William ',cake, No. 45, Upper Harley, on Monday, May 28, his Grace the Duke of Rutland in the chair : The CHAIRMAN stated that he had the greatest pleasure in again meet ing the Committee after so long an interval, and he was sure the Coln. mittee would partake in his feelings of pride and gratification at the honour conferred upon them by the presence and assistance of the Royal and illustrious Dukc on his right. They would recollect that when they last assembled it was determined that they should suspend their proceedings until they could learn the amount of subscriptions which might be made in the colonies. Intelligence having been now received from the East Indies, their secretary was enabled to lay before them a I e_ port, by which they would be made acquainted with the funds which they had at their disposal, and, although they might still hope for an increase of those funds, yet he thought they might then safely proceed in the prosecution of the interesting object for which they were originally called into existence as a Committee. He was sure they would all be desirous of evincing a faithful attention to the interests of the subscribers to the proposed memorial, and he earnestly hoped that the result of their labours might be a work, which might prove a power ful auxiliary to the historical page in commemorating and recording the glorious achievements of the most illustrious hero and the greatest public benefactor which this or any other ego had produced. It was not for him longer to take up the time of the Committee, more especially as he knew that some of its members had other important matters on their hands, and that being the case, they would at one proceed to business. The Secretary would have the goodness to read the report, whirls would detail to them the amount of the subscriptions ; and they would then proceed to consider the design to be determined upon. — HENRY HOWARD, R.A., Sec. Tn', MOST SUPERB HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITION of the SEASON will take place on SA TURDAY for the PRIZES of the ROYAL SOCIETY of HOR TICULTURE, &c., CREMORNE HOUSE, King's-road, when Airs. GRAHAM will ASCEND with a BALLOON. The celebrated Schwartzenbach Band, from Tyria, the band of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, the Band of the Fusileers, and a first-rate band of 30 performers, under Mr. Hopkins, will attend. A new pavilion, 133 yards long, will be erected for the plants, and a variety of appropriate entertainments will be given. The Patrons admitted as usual. The CHAIRMAN then read the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. He could only say, that as it was the wish of the Com mittee that he should make application to her most gracious Ma. jesty, he would give his best services and be-t attention in that be. half, and he had little doubt that her Majesty's most gracious permission would be accorded; so that the object the Commit. tee had in view might be carried into edict, so far as related to the arch. Ile had no objecthm to state, that, in his opinion, a more appropriate situation could not be found, but of course whenever it might be necessary for them to name the sculptor, if he should say there was any insuperable objection to its being placed there, they must reconsider the matter about that. His Grace added, he was no artist himself, nor did he profess to Understand the rules of sculpture, but he had no doubt that this work eventually would be completed in a man. ner satisfactory to the Committee and to the country at large. Mr. CHOKER moved, ." That so soon, as the Chairman should be able to report the'Queen's gracious answer to the application proposed to be made to her Majesty, the Secretary do summon a general meeting of the Committee to consider ulterior proceedings." .He thought it would be better and more respectful to her Majesty not to enter into any details, or to moot the name of any artist or artists, or anything belonging to that question, until her Majesty's most gracious wishes should be known.—(Hear.)

The SECRETARY then read the Report, which stated that lie had ai'- vertised the prospectus and list of subscribers in the several daily news papers, and that further applications had been made to Lord Palmerston for the circular letters and prospectus to be sent through the Foreign_ office to all her Majesty's Ministers and Consuls abroad, and that his Lordship had been pleased to allow the letters to be forwarded to such of the Ambassadors as had bags made up for them at the Foreign-office. And, as it appeared there were no other means of sending the letters except through the post, which would be very expensive, heobtained permission from Lord Glenelg to forward through the Colonial-office the letters and prospectus to the Governors and official persons resident in her Majesty's British Colonies and possessions, and that several addi tional subscriptions hid been received in consequence—that he had caused an alphabetical list of the subscribers to be printed and bound with the prospectus, for general circulation amongst the Committee and subscribers, and that through their influence several additional subscrip tions had been received : and that he had received a letter from the agents at Madras, apprising him of a public meeting held there on the 16th Dec. last, for the purpose of forwarding the object of the Committee. No further communication had been received, but the Madras papers of January announced the subscriptions to have then amounted to up wards of 7,000 rupees, or nearly 900/. That no accounts had been re: ceived from Calcutta or Bombay. That 368 subscribers had been added to the list since the last meeting of the Committee, and that the sub scriptions had •increased from 11,4451. to 13,480/. That the sum of 7,057/. 4Ss. Id. had been, with the sanction of the Chairman and De puty-Chairman, laid out in the purchase of 6,700/. Exchequer Bills, and that the balances in the hands of the several Bankers amounted to to the sum of 6981. l Is. Id., including 52/. 10s., the subscription of Brigadier Churchill, then in the hands of Messrs. Cockerel' and Co. The disbursements of the Committee out of the subscriptions then amounted to the sum of 672/. The Secretary then informed the Com mittee that he had just received directions from Sir Henry Halford to put down the Earl of Wemyss's name as a subscribar for 50 guineas ; that was independent of the amount of subscriptions he had named, and what might be expected from India. Earl BROWNLOW stated that he had great pleasure in proposing the first resolution :—" That as it appeared by the Secretary's roport that the total sum subscribed (independently of subscriptions to be received from India) amounts to 13.480/. 3s 5d., the Committee feel themselves now authorized to take into consideration the nature of the memorial to record the splendid military achievements of the Duke of Wellington, in pursuance of the resolutions of the 19th of June last." The CHAIRMAN then read the resolution, which was carried unani. mously. Mr. LusnixnroN moved (the Duke of Rutland having left the chair), "That the thanks of the meeting be presented to the Chair man, fur his able conduct in the chair this day ;" and he was sure such a resolution would be a great gratiAcation to them all, when they thought of the luminous statement whict had been made with respect to the subject the Committee had most at heart since they last met. • The Report which had been read by the Secretary was very cheering, and he thought they would all agree in thanking his Grace for the way in which he had conducted himself in the chair.

Artillery arrived at Savannah on Saturday last, and proceeded immediately on the way to the Cherokee country. Two companies left the day before, and more weuld leave in a few days.

There was a drawing which had been produced, placing an equestrian statue at the top of the arch just entering the Green Park, and nearly opposite to the Duke's house. Application should be made to her Majesty (and he supposed there would be a resolution on the subject) to give permission for the statue being placed at the top of the arch.

Under these circumstances the Directors feel it right to extend the period for receiving applications for shares on the altered plan until Saturday, the 30th of June.

TO HOTEL KEEPERS AND CAPITALISTS. having FREEHOLD MANSION, an exten- Asive Garden, is about to be converted into an HOTEL, upon a scale of magnitude, grandeur, and novelty unknown in this country. It will contain upwards of 120 rooms, including a saloon about 80 feet in length, and of proportionate height and width; a spa cious banqueting-room, and numerous other apartments of various dimensions, suited for the reception of foreign princes and ambas sadors, or noblemen and families of distinction desirous of the accommodation and private convenience a first-rate town mansion can afford. Th e proper ty proposed to be so converted is situate in ono of the most fashionable squares at the west end of the town, am] has long been the favourite residence of some of the most influential and opulent noblemen in the kingdom. This magnificent property will surpass the most splendid hotels on the Continent, and affords a most advantageous opportunity to an hotel-keeper of eminence, or to a person of capital desirous of entering upon an establishment of first-rate importance. The proposed arrangements are admirably adapted for suits of chambers, which may be independent of or in connectio n w ith th e Hotel, and in either way will prove a source of profitable and secure revenue. The plans may be seen, and particulars obtained, at Mr. El , ers' Office, South-street , Park - lane, between the hours of twelve and three. MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). HUNGERFORD MARKET.

COLONIAL MARKETS. The sales of Colonial produce are marked this week, by announce ments of a very large quantity of Raw Sugar, more so than in fact has been the case for months. To. day we had sales of 12,199 bags Mauri tius Sugar, 139 hhds. new Barbadoes, and 1,100 bags B enga l , d uty pa id. Although there was th is g reat quantity, and also l arge quant i ties for other days of the week, the market was not heavy, all things consi dered ; but owing to the large amount prices were afflxted, and must be quoted as drooping. Rice, 1,500 bags of East India, sold briskly at prices looking up. The only sale of Coffee today was one of 30 bal es o f M oc h a, fe t c hed former rates. There are no buyers of Foreign Coffee 4 Is. although 2 cnrgees have been offered at that price. Saltpetre, 1,000 bags sold at steady prices. There were also some few sales of Spices, but they were too trifling to affect the market. Nothing whatever like speculation in any kind of Colonial Produce makes its appearance. All the business done is bona fide, and for consumption. For to-morrow we have public sales of 4,400 bags Manilla Sugar ; 150 Lhds., new Barbadoes, 2,200 bags Mauritius, 1,500 bags Bengal, 200 bags and 170 casks of British Plantation Coffee, some Pimento, Pepper, and Ginger.

Mr. CHOKER—With respect to the drawing alluded to, by his Royal Highness, he begged to say, that as soon as he had thought of putting, the statute on the triumphal arch, he immediately applied to the archi tect who had built it, Mr. Burton, to know whether it was originally in tended, or was in fact sufficient, to bear a statute. Mr. Burton informed him that it was built with a view of carrying a large group, and of course, was fully equal to carrying a statue; and in consequence of this he had, with Mr. Burton's assistance, prepared the drawing of the arch, sur mounted by an equestrian statue, which he submitted to the meeting. The drawing of the statute (at they then saw it) would of course go for nothing—it was a mere sketch. They must imagine that they had the finest statute, both of man and horse, the talent of the country could produce. The drawing which he had ventured to prepare was only meant to convey a general idea how the thing would look. The CHAIRMAN observed that the Committee were obliged to Mr. Croker for the trouble he had taken in obtaining the drawing for them, and the information be had likewise given them. The resolution was " That, in the opinion of the Committee, an equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington would be the most suitable mode of carrying the object of the subscribers into effect." He did not know that of his own personal knowledge, but he believed if his Grace was asked himself —(Hear, hear)—he would give his opinioa in favour of an clues_ trian statue. Lord LY•renocll said, if such was the opinion of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, it would go far to settle the question ; but as the sub scriptions amounted to so large a sum, he was in hopes some greater monument than that might have been brought forward. The Duke of CAMBRIME—The great difficulty in all these matters was the finding a suitable spot where a statue could be placed. The CHAIRMAN said, that while they were upon the subject, it was his duty to state to the committee that some time since he had re ceived a letter from Sir Henry Fane, who having subscribed to this obj:ct, had also in his letter ftated his opinion es to the species of me. morial which should be adopted, and if the committee wished it, he would read the letter. It was dated Delhi, December 10, I 537, of which the following is an extract : " My dear Lord Duke,—l am writing from the city of Delhi, the ancient capital of some of the greateq monarchs of the east. A short distance from this place stands `the Cootub INlinar,' the most celebrated and beautiful structure of the kind in Asia, and I believe far sur passing any pillar in Europe. It is the admiration of the people who see it. " The country in which the Cootub Minar is situate, and Delhi itself, were won from the Mahrattas ; and nobody had so large a share in the conquest of the Mahrattas empire as the Duke of Wellington. What then could be more appropriate to convey to posterity the deeds of his Grace than an imitation of this celebrated pillar " I have to add that my proposition would be to imitate the Cootub Minar in all its dimensions and ornaments, up to the finish of the third circular gallery, and to terminate the building at that height, sur. mounting it with a fine group of military trophies. "The ground for this proposition is, that seeing the effect where the original stands, I think the termination of the building where I have srggested would have an admirable appearance; and moreover, I deem the two higher compartments (the 4th and sth) to be much inferior in beauty to those below them ; so much so, that I doubt them to be from the plan of the original architect. They give too much the appearance of a lighthouse. " I have the honour to be, " My dear Lord Duke, your faithful servant, " H. FAKE, General. "To his Grace the Duke of Rutland, K. G., &c." The Duke of CAmnatoor, in observing upon the letter, stated that Sir Charles Metcalfe had not arrived, and that therefore the model of the pillar:alluded to in the letter could not be submitted to the Committee until he arrived. Sir J. IL CARNAC, late chairman of the Fist India Company, in. formed the meeting that Sir C. Metcalfe was daily expected in England. The Right Hon. S. R. LUsnINGTON, late Governor of Madras, stated, that although he had never seen the building itself, yet he had seen a great many plans and drawings of it, and he should say, that if they were to set about the erection of such a building in London, it would not cost less than 500,000/. Mr. CROKER said, he thought so. Now, here they had nothing to do but to place a statue on a building on which 30,000/. had been spent, and which, after all, was imperfect from the want of that which they might now supply. The CHAIRMAN—And there could be, in fact, an equestrian statue placid there. The resolution was then put by the Chairman, and carried unani mously. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY stated, he had the highest gratifica tion in hearing from their intelligent Chairman the testimony of admira tion they were about to show in favour of that mighty man, whose achievements they were about eternally to record in the best manner in their power. He did think that it would be well for them to decide upon one of the most splendid colossal equestrian statues in Europe. His view of the case was, that anything like what was proposed by General cane would possibly only be an indifferent imitation of an Indian edifice. He questioned if a faulty original was not sometimes more meritorious than a good copy, and he did not wish there should be any imita tion of any other memorial or monument in the present instance ; they should endeavonr to strike out something chaste and characte. ristie, something grand and imposing, from an artist of this country, or wherever one could be found of sufficient eminence for the undertaking. The great object of all must be to hand down to posterity an eternal and magnificent record of a nation's gratitude. It was with great pleasure he learned that the Noble Duke himself seemed desirous of having the horse combined with the figure, having passed the most part of his time in his great career in war on horseback (undoubtedly far more than any other commander). By placing the hero of a hundred battles upon the most noble animal of the creation, they would unite in memory and veneration all the powers that both combine ; and he did not think any edifice or any other kind of trophy would be so appropriate as that lie then proposed. A doubt had occurred to Isis mind in respect of the triumphal arch, how far the artist might think his powers con. fined by being obliged to suit the proportions of the statue to the arch. They had heard that the artist who built the arch had stated it would bear a statue upon it, but then they always knew it must bear some proportion to the eye; it was very essential to be sure that the exact size of the equestrian statue could and would be in accordance to the magnificence of the arch. Ho thought that would be by far a more difficult task to accomplish and impose on the sculptor than if he had merely a statue to make, and then afterwards a pedestal after his own judgment and discretion. With these observations he then moved the resolution :—" That the summit of the triumphal arch at the entrance into the Green-park on Constitution hilt, going out of Piccadilly; would, in the opinion of the Committee, be an appropriate si tuation in which to place such equestrian statue, provided Her Majesty the Queen's permission can be obtained for that purpose." The Duke Of CAMBRIDGE stated he had no doubt but ller Majesty's permission could be cbtained. Mr. CROKER, in reply to an observation which had been made, " that something less common than an equestrian statue would be preferable," beggod leave to say, that no equestrian statue had ever been erect e d i n Europe to a subject not of royal blood ; be, at least, knew of none ; per. haps his Noble Friend Lord Aberdeen (who was a much better autho- The persons on the premises were Joseph Ryder, Philip Moore, and John Blacklidge. Moore and Ryder were killed upon the spot. Black. lidge was blown out of the building, and taken to his friends. He is not expected to live. Jchn Hanson and Daniel Titus were both engaged on ;he premises. Titus had stepped out, and was saved. Hanson was coming in at the door with a pail of water. He was singular to say, blown over the roof of a two story building, 80 yard from the spot, and alighted against a fence, near which some men were working. He had no limbs broken, but was much bruised, And his face, hands, and head dreadfully burnt. His eyes are quite out. Ha was carried to Bellevue.hospital. There is little hope of his recovery. . - • Hans who now lies in the hospital, says that Blacklidge was runr►ino down rockets just before the explosion, with an !r,,n rammer : he heard this rammer fall, and supposes it must have struck against a stone and produced a spark and the explosion. The varnish factory adjoining the premises was burnt to the ground. Ryder has left a widow and four children to deplore his loss. Hanson is a single man. Blacklidge has been married about five months. Moore was nearly out of his . apprenticeship. Blacklidge, we learn, is since dead —New York Daily Whig, of May 17. A Now ARTICLE OF MANUFACTURE.--We are c e libly informed there is an establishment in this city for the Lurpose of manufacturin ni,Nrisrs. The time occupied to make a first-rate dentist is from six months to three weeks. In the perfection of mod, , rn machinery, rare material is not unfrequcntly put into one end of a mill and comes out at the other a perfect production fit for use. The process at our ma nufactory is quite similar. Some man without education, and to say the least, without the natural faculties which will ever astonish the world, dissatisfied with the slow results of his business, and conceiv ing the high purpose of rising in the world, and leading henceforth a life ofease and affluence, has caught some rumour of the wonderful art of dentistry. He has not the least knowledge of surgery, nor of medical science, ner even of the rudiments of a public course of edu cation ; nor can he enter upon the profession by so long and tedious a road as others have done and must do, in order to make themselves worthy of public countenance. He comes to this city, and is put into this manufactory. The short space of time stated above, sees him an altered man. Before he was a plain, unpretending farmer or site. ehanic. Now he is a dentist-surgeen I adequate to manage the most difficult cases, and give entire satisfaction. He is furnished with sundry certificates, whose flaring capitals shall confound you, and put your in. credulity to the blush. His flaming handbill, abounding with terms like the following :—Sole Inventor ! Diamond Teeth ! Long Experi ence! Most Approved Principles !" A dentist in this city notifies the public that he inserts teeth which are composed of diamonds ! He has succeeded in making some believe it, and sold for the round stun of 100 dollars each tooth, which cost him less than one shilling.

SEFTON, OP THE FRANKLTS.—OUr Boston correspondent the other day asked whether Mr. Sefton were a hard manager ? From all we can learn he only deserves the appellation by paying his company punctually in hard money. It is very prevalent here for young men to hire sleeping rooms and eat their meals anywhere, as it may happen. One morning, rather late, one of these youngers was returning home with six raw eggs in his hat. He had just purchased them for his breakfast, when, aeci. dentally, he met in Broadway a female acquaintance, and being rather flustered, all thoughts of his " marketing" were driven out of his mind. He very politely doffed his chapeau to the lady. What was the conse quence ? Why, as his bat came off, out rolled the eggs, to his utter di c. may, and to the astonishment of the lady. He was ()Win the twinkling of a case knife. The lady's dress was most wofully bespattered. EDITORIAL MonesTv.—Who will make us a present of a act of" Wil liams's Annual Register?

SHAMEFUL MISCONDUCT OF A GENTLEMAN IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.-011 Friday a person of gentlemanly ap. pe:irance, about twenty-two years of age, was brought before Mr. Pilkington, the sitting magistrate at the Kensington Petty Sessions, in the custody of Shearlock, A 125, charged with having acted in the following unbecoming manner in Kensington Gardens :—Shearlock, while on duty In the Gardens, shortly after one o'clock that afternoon, was informed by several persons whom he met, that a most " odd fish" had for the previous quarter of an hour been exhibiting itself in the round pound opposite the windows of Kensington Palace.

On inquiring of numerous females who were viewing the creature from a distance, he ascertained that in its sportiveness it had emerged three times from its native element and traversed the outer circle of the pond, to their no small alarm and consternation.. Wishing to take a more accurate examination of the supposed amplii; bious being, he approached near to the edge of the - water, when the creature, as if not liking his presence, made for the opposite shore, and before he could get round, it scrambled up the bank and ran alOng the rass for full 500 yards towards the long wood, to the infinite dismay of the promenaders, when strikine its fin or foot against the rout of a tree,, it foil close to th ree l ad i es, who were quietly en j oy i ng the cooling breeze under the shady foliage, who, alarmed at its pre,ence, scampered away ted cn witness reaching the spot he discovered that the " odd fish" was' inquiring where his erothes were, the no other than th e p r i soner .
